Why we know this works!

We love this mobile shampoo bowl because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we meet families who have gone weeks without a real hair wash because the shower is off limits. How do you wash someone's hair when they cannot get in the shower? Seat them in a wheelchair or a sturdy chair with a back, adjust the bowl's height and angle to fit, wet and rinse with a large cup of warm water, and point the drain hose, up to 4.9 feet long, at the toilet, tub, or shower for a no mess cleanup. It has no wheels on purpose, so it stays put while you work. This is especially important after surgery when doctors restrict bathing, and for wheelchair users or anyone whose limited mobility makes the shower unsafe. The person does need to sit upright with their head tipped back, so if your loved one is bedbound, start with our Video Training: Bed level bathing, dressing, toileting instead.
